The Beautiful South - Get Here Lyrics

Head over heels is fine
Unless you're in stilettos
Love knows no boundaries
Unless your in one of love's ghettos

Love climb every mountain high
But some of us are stuck in a cell
All you need is love, love, love
And a bloody good tunnel as well

You could get here by aeroplane or boat
Not unreasonable demands
But I could save myself the price of a ticket
If I didn't let go of your hands

Never mind killing me getting there
But somebody has to make plans
First embrace shoots you into space
And doesn't give a damn where it lands

Why not take a chance on love?
Even at hundred to one
If we promise that we'll never let love die
Within a week one of us'll be gone

Love sure makes the world go round
And takes you for a hell of a ride
But I don't wanna waste time searching for love
When it's already stood at my side

Love will make you blind to the truth
Romantic novels all tell
So I'll spend a little time romancing by myself
But that turned me blind as well

You can get here by crossing sea or desert
I can barely make Blackpool Sands
Railroad, caravan, save it for the mad man
Lets see if love just stands

Never mind killing me getting there
But somebody has to make plans
First embrace shoots you into space
And doesn't give a damn where it lands

Why not take a chance on love?
Even at a hundred to one
If we promise that we'll never let love die
Then within a week one of us'll be gone

Does the length of journey your heart makes
Really provide any proof?
All it really proves is love never moves
When it's right there under your roof

My heart is in the right place
Then what's the point in making that trip
Stay right here with your hand on my heart
See how often you cause it to skip

See how often you cause it to skip
See how often you cause it to skip
